WHY THE SKY CRIES

Liner Notes

a lyric inspired by the world war 2 hero,
Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector
who saved 75 souls,
without ever carrying a gun
in one of the bloodiest battles of the pacific
Hacksaw ridge, is now subject to a film
directed by Mel Gibson

thank you for your feedback guys

Lyrics

WHY THE SKY CRIES

rise up high sun, and warm my skin
carry me and the weight of my courage
take me there, where I'm destined to be
place my bones into a grave of peace

I want no riffle, no blood on these hands
I'll serve my country to keep it's land
show me the field where I must fight
put them before me, who want my life

I can't remember that last bird song
no birds fly here where men must die
and I can't remember that last poem
least now I know love, why the sky cries
why the sky cries, why the sky cries

don't wait for me should I fall down
I'll take what fate has planned to be
let my blood run into natures bowels
into the soil the trees into it's leaves

the shade of love she has not enough
for it's now I crave my mothers touch
though she wills me on that I survive
the time that's mine has passed me by

I can't remember that last bird song
no birds fly here where men must die
and I can't remember that last poem
least now I know love, why the sky cries
why the sky cries, why the sky cries

give me strength for just one more
guide us safely from the hell of war
the saviour lord was I not born to be
these souls I save I bring before thee

rise up high sun, and warm my skin
carry me and the weight of my toil
take me there, where I'm destined to be
rest my bones unto a grave of the free
